Summary

Miller City Middle School is a small public school in Miller City, Ohio, serving 119 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Miller City-New Cleveland Local district. It is one of Ohio's top-performing middle schools: it ranked 22nd of 1,046 middle schools in 2025–2026 — the 98th percentile, with 5 stars, or roughly the top 2% statewide — while its district ranked 23rd of 773 in Ohio.

That excellence is not a one-year spike. Over the past decade, Miller City Middle has never fallen below the 94th percentile and has earned 5 stars every year shown; its best recent showings were 12th of 1,046 in 2023–2024 and 14th of 1,036 in 2024–2025. Test proficiency sits far above state averages, and the school led the nearby group in most overlapping grades and subjects: 8th grade science 97.5 (nearby schools 64.5 to 86.1), 6th grade math 93.9 (57.6 to 89.4), 8th grade math 97.5 (70.4 to 85.7), and 6th grade ELA 90.9 (53.5 to 77.9). Nearby Bluffton Middle School and Columbus Grove Middle School are strong too and edge ahead in a few areas, such as 7th grade math, but Miller City's overall profile is stronger and more consistent.

Attendance is another sharp differentiator: chronic absenteeism was just 0.3 in 2025–2026, compared with 6.0 at Bluffton Middle School, 5.1 at Columbus Grove Middle School, 8.2 at Pandora-Gilboa Middle School, 8.3 at Patrick Henry Middle School, and 17.3 at Defiance Middle School. The student-teacher ratio was 15.5 in 2024–2025, down from 24.2 in 2022–2023 and lower than most nearby schools except Patrick Henry Middle School (14.1). Subgroup results are strong as well: female students ranked 14th of 947 and gifted students 10th of 186 in 2025–2026. Keep in mind that recent free/reduced-lunch figures are unavailable, spending data dates to 2018–2019, and some nearby schools serve grades 5–8, so compare overlapping grades and subjects.
